The 2012 Pemberton Trail 50K
As the sun slowly rose over
McDowell Mountain Regional Park, only minutes distant but worlds away from
Phoenix, Arizona’s busy city central, the cold desert air slowly gave way to
some of the warmest February temperatures found anywhere in the US.
This eighty-degree heat did little
to slow 40-year old Kristina Pham as she sped to a new women’s course record at
twelfth annual Pemberton Trail 50K. Pham crossed
the finish line in 3:47:02 shattering Michelle Lindsey’s 2002 course record by
almost 15 minutes. Heidi
Schuette, Chrissy Parks and Petra McDowell also finished with times that placed
them among the top ten fastest women in the history of the race.
On the men’s side ten-time
finisher, Josh Brimhall, navigated the two 15.5-mile Sonoran Desert loops
quickly and notched his sixth Pemberton victory with a time of 3:28:13. Montana’s Devin Cowan followed three minutes
later and Chase Duarte took home the bronze and the men’s master’s title at
this year’s event.
The Pemberton Trail 50 Kilometer
continues to provide the ideal escape for runners who are experiencing the
winter doldrums and looking for some fun in the sun. The course is perfect for anyone looking to
set a 50-kilometer trail personal record or for those who wish to attempt their
first ultra. The trail’s tread is smooth
and fast and the few hills on the course are short and gradual. Congratulations to race director Brian Wieck
for another successful year. 128 runners
finished this year’s event.
